Hot Shott is the cafe we have been waiting for on Tedder. The service is faultless, the food delicious, and the ambience amazing. As a local, I appreciate the staff and the excellent service they provide. Food is delivered hot and quickly, and the menu is comprehensive. The 2 lady owners deserve to do well, as their passion shows through them and their staff.

Best cafe on the Goldie, hands down. The staff are always super friendly and accommodating, food and coffee are always top quality. There is a great vibe here that has been missing from Tedder Ave for the last few years. Their atmosphere is excellent and many other cafes could learn from it.

Get the Smokin Avocado – you won’t regret it!

This place pleases the soul! after a long night and day of travelling from the west coast! to be greeted by a warm smiling face with professional service was excellent! the menu meets all your needs and knocks your expectations out of the park! everything fresh everything made with passion and skill. Eating and drinking their superb coffee here everyday on our holiday has been awesome! Great work to Kellie and Jenna for a fantastic place and fantastic food and coffee.

A friend recommended this new cafe 3 months ago as it’s just around the corner from me and I found love. I’m now a regular every time I visit Gold Coast! Awesome staff, happy vibes, good coffees, and as for their delicious food, the Smokin’ Avocado needs to be in everyone’s bucket list, they use Mt Tamborine’s avo and serve up perfectly smashed in applewood smoke – I don’t think I can find a Smashed Avo dish as good as this in Melbourne! My 2nd love is the Benedict of Benedicts. I’m already looking forward to return in February! Keep it up ladies!

A friend introduced me to this café over a year ago and it is my favourite place for breakfast, bar none! I’ve lost count how many times I’ve eaten here, but the staff are more like family and they really put their heart and soul into making you feel welcome and looked after. When my company needed a venue for an after-work drinks and nibbles on a Friday, Hot Shott was the venue of choice and they didn’t disappoint. Consistently good!

Great coffee, food, service. So happy we found this place. Kids loved the fresh juices and kids size servings which were recommended to us by our waitress. Great cafe culture not our of place anywhere in the world. We shall be back….

Found Hot Shott through TripAdvisor and it did not disappoint. Arrived & it was PACKED! Good sign of good food & service! Staff seated me quickly & due to weather did offer to move me away from the edge of the eating area but I was happy. Service was fast, staff were very approachable, went out of their way and were a pleasure to deal with. I eventually ordered the all hashed up add bacon and it was delicious. I struggled to pick off the menu from all of the choices. Could not recommend Hot Shott high enough and if I’m back on holidays here, I will be returning.

Yes yes yes! Check it out …great food (pancakes were flavourful and syrupy! Egg and bacon potion large and very tasty brekkie sambo!) Spot on coffee, service and vibes. Will come back!
